Compare contrasts agents

Appraise various films inc position, errors, quality, marks etc

Draw a diagram showing how comton's effect happens

what precautions should you take during fluroscopy examinations in theatre for a portovenogram

Surgical nursing:

Placing sutures inc doing a one handed tie

discuss drains either active or passive inc the management

discuss the usage of tracheostomy tubes and the different types and management

differentiate between different orthopaedic implants

different groups of suture matterial

what describes the best type of suture material

discuss the use of honey and silver dressing and how they act on wound healing

talking about the usage of a Heimlich valve can be used on a chest drain and if it's suitable for usage with fluid as well as air??

Anaesthesia

Checking anaesthetic machine prior to use

how to attach different cylinders and how to differentiate between the two (inc pin index)

Circuits

Anaesthetic agents and different components

ECG traces know what different arrhythmias looks like and there threatment

Capnograph readings/display and what they mean and how to sort them out

what given the introduction kit for a epidural cathter, had to explain what it was and how it was placed and hwat drugs can be used during epidural analgesia advantages and disadvantages

was given a critical patient and asked to choose three modes of monitoring and state the reason why I choose each form of monitoring.

Think that's about it. All I can remember, all seems a bit of a blur currently!!!
